Missing Maps is a field-derived Humanitarian Disaster Management project,
empowered by Humanitarian OpenStreetMap, Medecins-Sans-Frontieres, and
British and American Red Cross. It depends on the digital revolution to
empower people within their own communities to take control of how they are
represented, mapped, and seen by the outside world.
The project finds its heart not in the technology or tools it uses, or
commercially interested organisations backing it, but on the Open Street
Map itself, the publicly owned wiki-style platform, accessible to anyone
via Smartphone or Computer, to edit, use or develop. It is a transparent,
cost-neutral project by which donors can engage and collaborate with their
field counterparts, giving time rather than money to support the production
of commonly owned visualisations from satellite and field data. This
enables the delivery of humanitarian assistance in the form of engineering,
medical, and cultural intervention in areas generally considered
'inaccessible' and 'precarious'.
